I'm restating the obvious here, but nobody wants to have bad breath. Unfortunately, it's something we can't avoid. I've read stats that say that nearly half of all people suffer from it to some degree, and some obviously have it worse than others.
Some causes of bad breath are ones that we can control, and others are simply ones that we can do nothing about. Let's focus on the ones that we can control though. Taking a few basic precautions will go a really long way.
Have you ever used a tongue cleaner? These are probably the best things you can use, yet so few people actually happen to use them. By gently removing bad breath germs from the surface of your tongue, you'll get rid of a big part of your problem.
You might not know this, but most bad breath comes from bacteria buried within the tongue, and using a tongue scraper once or twice daily can definitely help out with this situation.
Secondly, I'd recommend flossing your teeth as often as daily if you're able to. Think about how bad a steak would smell if you left it on your counter for over a week. You wouldn't want to do this, but for some reason people are okay with the idea of leaving it inside their teeth.
You need to eliminate food from those hard to reach places. Floss as often as you can, especially after eating meats. You'll definitely notice a difference, especially if you smell those meats after you get them out of your teeth (as gross as it sounds, it's just proof of the fact that you need to floss).
It's just as important to keep your body filled with the right amount of water. Drink up as often as you can, but don't overdo it. Any water is always good for the mouth and tongue, as the production of saliva is known to control bad breath.
Try these things out for a few weeks and I guarantee you'll notice a difference. You'll probably wonder why you never did them to begin with.
